So I am asked why aren't I open more.........Because no one shows up except Friday or Saturday......I've sat here all day ...... all by myself !Sadly, I'm closing.....not for lack of business but for lack of Room !!Weird huh?I don't have enough room for all my stock.....well, I don't need to display all my stock.....Just most of it !You would not believe what landlords want for rent !!!So, I'm scaling my business back to internet only.That's what happens when landlords think they're in A Big City....Tacoma isn't ......not yet.And the rents landlords want for crappy marginal space is INSANE !!They have this crackhead idea that just because The Glass Museum is in Tacoma...And because SOMEDAY the LeMay Museum will come.........That justifies the HUGE rent jump in the last 2 years.So Tacoma Small Business will suffer.And now you know why new small businesses are rare....In areas you want to shop in, in areas you will shop in.....that is.......That's why you get corporate....and landlords are content to be empty for years........you've seen it.......you've driven by it.....There's no way you'd come to the areas where the rent is affordable.....

If I was selling Booze, Beer....or Food......I'd be rich.....Oh wait......I did sell Beer And Food......well, root beer and Food.I started STEILACOOM FORGE DELIPeople will Go ANYWHERE to get drunk....and eat !!But I'll keep looking around town.....So Bye Bye!!

the funkomavintage credo

I choose items that are fun, well-made, with a great sense of confidence. I live the Vintage Life, and resolutely believe that re-using is important....and vintage is simply better made and meant to last. It's real value for your money.Authentically handmade by a real person is a joy! The ultimate luxury is an item handcrafted by a person who lives free.
